Announcing Mon Cahier, a new theme available for Free

August 05, 2012

I’m happy to announce that my second theme, Mon Cahier, has been accepted in the WordPress Theme Repository. This means that anyone can download it and install it for Free. This new theme is very simple, clean and elegant. It’s main purpose is to showcase your content. Please feel free to download it and let me know how you like it.

Hello, I’ve installed this theme for my site thenorthernist.com and am very happy with it so far. However, the one feature I would like to have is the option of a ‘Read More’ style link to only have an excerpt of each blog post visible. Can you suggest a way to do this either in the CSS or via a plugin? Thanks very much.

I’ve created and uploaded the child theme using WP tutorials, but there’s no change to the appearance of the site at all. I cleared the cache and reloaded the page, as that was one suggestion if changes weren’t visible, but to no avail. Any further thoughts?

I see that you inserted the php code in your style.css. That’s not how you do it. You need to make a copy of the whole index.php in your child folder and then make the change in that file. If that doesn’t work, I would recommend that you go to the forum and start a thread there. That’s a better area to get help and it will help others too.

Hi Eve, Thanks for the compliments. To change the dimensions, what you will first need to do is set yourself up with a child theme and in the css of your child theme, you can change the width of both the sidebar and content area.
